A video of 21-year-old Sangita Ravindra Mukane being carried in a doli over a distance of multiple kilometre from her native Chafewadi village to an ambulance parked at Gaidand Road at round 1:30pm went viral on social media.

“She had gone into labour and needed urgent medical attention. She had to be carried in a doli as there is no approach road to Chafewadi, which means ambulances have to wait at Gaidand Road. We are in 2025 but this is the condition of areas so close to big urban centres,” stated native activist Prakash Khodka.

“Despite repeated appeals, the #Nadgaon gram panchayat, of which Chafewadi is a part, has done nothing about constructing a road. Due to the delay, she suffered a seizure before reaching the ambulance, after which she was rushed to Thane Civil Hospital, where doctors have said her condition is stable,” Khodka added.

The lack of a highway put her life at risk or else she may have been handled on the major well being centre right here itself, he identified. Officials of the #Nadgaon gram panchayat and the district administration couldn’t be reached for feedback.
